Dire straits album my parties tv#
Reflecting on Dire Straits’ time together as a whole, he reflected: “People often ask if we had a rockstar life – sex and drugs and rock‘n’roll etc – we didn’t throw many TV out the window – it was much more than all that, a real pleasure to have so many people enjoying what we created. Sting was on holiday in Montserrat where we recorded the album and came up for supper – just a lucky coincidence that he happened to be there.” Speaking of “Money For Nothing,” Illsley noted: “Did Sting really get a writing credit and royalties for his four words on ‘Money For Nothing’ sounding like ‘Don’t Stand So Close To Me?’ Yes he did and I was amazed at how calmly Mark handled it. ‘Why Worry’ was a kind of lovely duet Mark had with himself.” “‘The Man’s Too Strong’ was another example of Mark’s writing working on so many levels, you can read into it whatever you like. He put this part on when we got to the Record Plant in New York, where we mixed the album. I liked the courage in the writing of this song, a difficult subject.” Of “Your Latest Trick,” he mused: “I love the sound of Michael Brecker’s sax on this track. For example, “‘Ride Across the River’ was about the murky mercenary business. He also gave fans an insight into individual songs during the track-by-track playback. Neil Dorfsman had engineered Local Hero and Love Over Gold and I think Mark felt that Neil should share production duties on Brothers. Of Neil Dorfsman, who co-produced the album with Mark Knopfler, he noted: “We had a great production team on this. Beautiful island, but not many distractions apart from the local disco on a Saturday night.” The Police, the Stones, Phil Collins had all used it. Reminiscing on “Tim’s Twitter Listening Party” about the location for the recording of Brothers In Arms, Illsley said: “We heard that Montserrat was a very good studio owned by George Martin who also owned AIR Studios in London.
